Maryam Rajavi’s
New Year and Christmas greetings
|
Dear
Christians in Iran and everywhere else,
Supporters
of the Iranian Resistance across the world,
I
would like to greet you on Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ, which has
coincided this year with the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad.
I
would also like to extend my greetings for the New Year.
I
wish that 2016 would be a year of unity and victory over Islamic extremism and especially the religious fascism ruling Iran
and its evil allies in the Middle
East who sow the seeds of enmity in the world.
We
remember Jesus Christ when he said: “Love
one another just as I love you”.
Also
in the Quran, God says about Mohammad:
“We sent thee as a Mercy for all mankind”.
This
is the message of all divine religions and therefore, the coincidence of the
two births, is a feast of brotherhood among all nations.
Fortunate
are those who have found the essence of Christianity and Islam in love,
compassion and freedom.
And
we salute Virgin Mary, the symbol of love and sacrifice who is described in the
Bible as “loved by God”.
The
birth and emergence of every prophet mark a new birth for mankind in social
life.
When
our world is under the attack of terror and extremism, we can find the light of
freedom and tolerance and perseverance against fundamentalism and extremism in
these births.
Muslims
and Christians can rely on their common values to stand up to those who pervert
their religions
So,
in contrast to what the extremists want, we should make our hope and faith in
humanity deeper than ever.
Let
us hope for a swift end to extremism and for the freedom of the people of Syria
from dictatorships of Bashar Assad, Khamenei and Daesh terrorists.
Let
us hope for end to displacement and homelessness of Christians throughout the
Middle East.
And
let us hope for the relief of Christian converts in Iran from the oppression of
ruling mullahs and for freedom of the whole Iranian nation from this religious
dictatorship.
On
this occasion, I call on the world
community to form an international
front against the religious dictatorship
in Iran and its proxies and militia in Syria and Iraq and to fight Islamic extremism, the enemy of true Muslims, Christians
and all followers of other divine
religions.
May
the message of compassion, freedom and tolerance engulf the Middle East.
May
the world get relieved from tyranny and fundamentalism and have a new birth and
revival.
